Prize-winning author inspires kids

CHILDREN at Woodland Primary School are coming up with novel ideas after being visited by a young people’s author. People’s Book Prize winner Billy Bob Buttons visited the school to lead writing workshops to key stage two pupils.

Mr Buttons said: “The workshop shows the children how to create a character that readers will care about.”
The author has produced 16 books for various ages, and his work has been translated into eight languages.
A number of children said they would like to become writers after the workshops.
